All my dash and centre console lights have gone out.
Ive been going over plenty speed bumps
The fuse is ok in the fusebox
Do all the lights work off one relay?
If they do where is it?

Cheers guys N Gals

Don't shout at me BUT..........have you tried the 'dimmer slide'. I tend to catch it when I'm cleaning the dash !! Best go & make sure before you start stripping the dash out !!!!!!! lol

ignition switch, common prob..wiggle it about and they should come back on.

thats a good point actually splatt forgot about that problem, and could be the fault

howver thinking of it this would mean that when dash lights are out none of the headlmaps or indicators work either. if this is the case then its generally a complete new steering lock that you have to get (ignition barrel is not available seperate on these)
